Baby Grace is home!

Grace had to stay in the hospital an extra day because of her size, but we got to take her home on Monday night. Her weight as of yesterday was 4 lbs 9 oz! Because she's so small, we have our heat on to keep Grace nice and warm and she's bundled up like it's the middle of winter, per the pediatricians orders. She's also on a very strict feeding schedule. Hopefully she'll get some fat on her soon!

Do you guys have a macro lens? It has a pretty shallow depth of field, from what I can tell.

My random word for the day: acres.

This is such an adorable picture. She's just a little bundle of pink angel.

Hope the rest of you aren't getting too warm with the heat on.

Those lips are so sweet! 4 1/2 lbs! I can't even imagine such a tiny angel!

Oh, what a beautiful face! I also can't believe such a tiny baby since mine were born at weights almost twice that!

Did I ever tell you that Grace is the name we want to name our first girl? I have a feeling you stole it so that your daughter could be the first Grace Peterson. She IS beautiful. I can't wait to meet her!

so totally cute! Love the picture. She is SO sweet and tiny. I want to hold her and snuggle her. You should take some naked pictures while she is so tiny so you can remember.

Awww, so sweet! I just want to keep staring at her all day. . .

Just...absolutely...beautiful! And yes, the little 'naked' pics are great to have--especially when next to something (like a hand) or something to show perspective (how small she is!) She will grow so fast and you will forget. You might want to 'privatize' your blog though now that you're posting baby pics. Just a thought. And if you do, include me, ok? Enjoy her.
